Lesson in Romanian pop music



Getting acquainted with all the latest and greatest in Romanian pop music I thought I had to share the hit that's blasting out of the speakers of late.

I'm hoping you remember the pop Group O-Zone who came to fame with their hit 'Dragostea din Tei' in 2004, also known as the 'Numa Numa' song because those of us in the West had no idea what lead singer Dan Bălan was saying. Although they're a Moldovan group, they sing in Romanian so I'll consider them Romanian pop, just like we consider Mel Gibson Australian.

Having left O-Zone, singer/songwriter Dan Balan is in the charts with his new hit, Chica Bomb. Directed by All-Star-American video clip director, Hype Williams, it's worth a watch. Apparently the sexy woman featured in the clip isn't Romanian but it's still an example of excellent Euro Pop. Download it now!
